People like you will be banning all Attachments next, simply because they
could be a potential treat. With that line of reasoning we should also stop
all physical post simply because there are a few deranged persons who send
letters full of Anthrax powder or rudimentary letter-bombs.

What about Plain Text with "Attachments"? - shall we really have to ban
those too?

I would really like to see you sort your personal physical post at
home.Figuratively speaking of course!! I am sure that you always dedicate
those few extra SECONDS to sort out the genuine from the garbage. But then
again you would be the type to throw all your mail in the trash simply
because the are a couple of colored envelopes amongst the other PURE WHITE
ones.

However you definitely sound like one of their "YES"men ! Of course I could

Come on Mr.Tillman, with your Plain Text mentality, its hard to see you
like music. but again I could be wrong, however, I am quite sure that with
your undoubted expertise on the subject of emails,you are fully capable of
deleting an unwanted message in well under 1 second !! ( just like you throw
away that unwanted colored brochure when you physically receive it at home)
> Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
On a personal basis, you have every right to be a "Plain Text", "Black &
White"
type of person, but please leave the rest of us enjoy the color and music we
so much enjoy.
On the "Security Level", all I can say is :
"Why not fix the hole in the roof (software)instead of cursing the rain
(color, music etc) ????
